I just bought a ukulele and have been learning it since then. I didn't want to spend more time learning a new instrument so I decided to buy the banjitar. It arrived perfectly though I had to go and buy a case to trasvel with it. I also bought a set of strings that were kindly prepared for me at MacCabes in Santa Monica. When I finally arrived with it in Mexico I started to play it. It sounds so much louder than what I had expected but it has the color and feel I was looking for.
I want it to write songs and to add that tone to some songs, so it's great. I had it adjusted since it had traveled a lot and all I can say is I like it very much.

This is a nice instrument. I replaced the tuning machines to a locking tuner which helped with the staying in tune issue. I also replaced the bridge with for a higher action. With that said.... this is a great unit for someone who wants to add a little banjo but dosen't want to learn the banjo positions. One word of caution.... think in terms of a banjo player not a guitar player.....
